How did they raise the stones so high on the great pyramid of Giza?
We do not know for sre, but the most credible and scientifically accepted today is that the Egyptians used a ramp built from rubble and desert clay, known as tafla. The ramp progressively spiralled upwards as the pyramid grew. Heavy stones were placed on sledges and pulled up manually by gangs of slaves. An average block used on the great pyramid weighed in at about 2.5 tons which needed about 20 slaves to drag it up the ramp. Vestiges of such ramps have been discovered in several location, sites of ancient Egyptian constructions.
Why did they need so many people to build a pyramid?
First, many, many people had to cut into the rock formations, and cut huge perfect stones to pile up for the pyramids. Second, each of thousands of stones had to be moved from the rock quarry all the way to the pyramid location. It took many people to build the wood structures needed to start building the halls and rooms that would be deep inside the pyramid. If getting the stones to the pyramid took many people, then raising the stones and piling them atop each other was major. The stones were so terribly heavy that it took a bunch of manpower to raise them and position them. So it would not take many decades to finish the pyramid, many work parties were formed to haul, raise, and lay the stones. To get the pyramid finished before the Pharoah died and would be buried in the pyramid, many, many thousands of people had to work together.

How do you think the Egyptians move the heavy stones needed for the great pyramid without the technology of the wheel?
Sledges, prepared causeways, ramps and lots of manpower. For a pyramid stone weighing about 2.5 tons it is estimated that about twenty slaves were required. It probable that the causeways and ramps were laid with planks and the blades of the sledges were lubricated with oil or water. For one of the 70 ton stones used in the construction of the King's Chamber perhaps 500. For longer distances the heavy stones were placed on barges and floated on the Nile.
